RIDING YOUR SCOOTER
7. When riding and turning the scooter, use smooth movements.
NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more effectively by leaning your
body, rather than by applying pressure on the handlebars. Practice steering in an
open area that is free of traffic until you are familiar with the handling
characteristics of your scooter.
8. As you approach a turn, or plan to stop, use the turn signals well in advance to alert
other traffic of your intentions. Scan for other vehicles around you and slowly move
to the right side of the road. Close the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly, as
the scooter’s brake light will alert vehicles behind you that you are braking.
9. When you stop the scooter, press the center of the turn signal indicator switch to
cancel the signal flashing. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF“ position to stop the
engine and turn off the scooter’s electrical system.
WARNING
Avoid using just one brake to stop the scooter,
as this will affect the tire’s grip.
Avoid sudden braking, as this will also affect the
tire’s grip and can cause an accident.
WARNING
Reduce your speed when riding on uneven or
loose road surfaces. When riding downhill,
decrease the throttle opening and use
intermittent braking to control the vehicle’s
speed. Failure to take appropriate precautions
may result in an accident.
WARNING WARNING
Reduce your speed when riding your scooter in the rain.
Wet road surfaces reduce tire grip and greatly increases
the distance required for safe braking. Wet surfaces also
reduces tire grip during cornering. Reduced tire grip will
make it more difficult to control your scooter and may
result in an accident.
Never operate the ignition switch while riding your scooter.
If the ignition switch is turned during riding it could turn off the engine
and lights, possibly causing you to lose control of the scooter.
With the lights off, your scooter may not be visible to other traffic, and
this could cause a traffic accident.
Only operate the ignition switch when the scooter is not moving.
